Yes

The entire frame structure for most skyscrapers is built from iron beams.

Even if the structure were to use all steel, steel itself is made from iron and the term iron beam is still typically used.

There would be no skyscrapers without iron, freestanding concrete simply collapses in on itself above a certain height and requires a framework to reach any height tall enough to qualify as a skyscraper.
